The Internet of Things (IoT) concept and applications have been rising over the last few years. It is changing our lives and the way we carry out our daily tasks. The IoT concept has led to many smart applications such as smart homes, smart farming, smart industries, smart health and smart grids. In this paper we present a brief overview of the IoT concept; present its potential in research for sustainable developed for societal and industrial needs; and the importance of communication networks to implement these systems. We present some possible key areas and research areas with this concept that can drive economic growth, improve social well-being of the people and create healthy environments particularly in developing countries. These areas include smart health through user/patient distant health monitoring; smart water and smart power through efficient water and power management systems; smart farming through efficient farm monitoring and automation systems; and smart homes for efficient affordable home resources
